On Passion and Love

To the Sports Editor:

In response to George Vecsey's column, "Sports Void Will Help Us Get a Life," (The Times, Oct. 2), all I can say is what is life if it is not filled with passion and love? To go through life without those two cousins, one may as well be dead.

I'm still looking for someone to share my passions and love, one of which is hockey. Believe it or not, some nights I like to be by myself and watch a well-played hockey game. Other nights I want to have a tender moment with the woman I love. Still others, I want to spend with my family and friends, often talking about the stupidity of the times.

When I get married, I hope to one day spend my anniversary with my wife at a hockey game, screaming and cheering, and enjoying everything life has to offer me. JAN RICHARD GORLIN Maplewood, N.J.
